Is Your Content Being Used For or Against You?

Could you be crowded out of search listings – and your readers’ attention – by your own content?

One of the most important ranking factors

Your company name should go at the end

Don’t stuff keywords

Be descriptive, but succinct

Page 27: Content Structure & UX Guide by Kayak

Meta DescriptionA HOOK FOR SEARCHERS

Page 28: Content Structure & UX Guide by Kayak

Meta descriptions are not a ranking factor

Should be compelling, enticing, and brief

Aim for 140-160 characters

A Very Compelling Page Title https://www.yourcompany.com/landing-page

Tease your page with a meta description because you want people to click through, but don’t go too long otherwise …

A business event should typically not feel like a grand ball or a fancy cocktail party.We hope you find these eleven tips helpful and informative, but there’s a lot more that goes into a good corporate event than

Alt text here

Page 39: Content Structure & UX Guide by Kayak

Alt text is used in a few ways:

• It is used as an alternative to the image if the image is not loaded for some reason.

• It is used by screen readers, for accessibility.

• It can provide additional context for the image.

Page 40: Content Structure & UX Guide by Kayak

It’s also used by search engines so that they can figure out what the image is.

In addition, search engines understand what it is from context and file name.

Alt text is still the most important image ranking factor, however.

Page 41: Content Structure & UX Guide by Kayak

Use relevant keywords in a sentence in your alt text but, as with everything, do not stuff key phrases.

USE BULLET POINTS

Page 43: Content Structure & UX Guide by Kayak

Sometimes, it makes more sense to describe your product or service in paragraphical form. By crafting longer-form content, you can explain the nuances of your offering for those who are doing deep research.

But we know that some people will “skim” at a higher level, trying to get to the key points.

Page 44: Content Structure & UX Guide by Kayak

• Bullets are great for short, concise points.

• Search engines pay attention to bullet points; they like that they break up content.

• Don’t structure everything in bullet points, though; if everything on your page is “special”, nothing is differentiated.

INCLUDE A CALL-TO-ACTION

Page 46: Content Structure & UX Guide by Kayak

This should be a “next step” for your readers.

It should be a continuation of the topic and related to it, but prompt a more direct action.

The destination isn’t necessarily continued high-level research; it’s more actionable.

Be careful with key phrases. Make sure they’re definitely relevant to the page or the file.

Separate words with dashes (-), not underscores (_). Search engines understand dashes as separate words.
